Text Box: L/Cpl. Ted B. Lively, 81s FO's Radio Operator. In 81s area of Russell, Spring 1969. At the time, I was with F-2/4. I carried an 8mm movie camera with me while in Vietnam. I have footage of LZ Neville, Hill 950, patrols around Russell and the surrounding area. I have it on VHS now, and soon copies will be available through the LZ Russell Association. Some of the footage is HQ BN, but most of it is F 2/4 and 81s. Also some of it is from my 2nd tour with 1st ANGLICO in Saigon (good duty!).
